Now I know I'm not the first to inform you of this fact: breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and essential for a healthy and balanced diet. If you're trying to be skinny - this fact is even more true as it helps keep you from binging later on in the day cause you're so friggin' hungry!

This toaster is the HG (Holy Grail) product of all breakfast making appliances. Basically, this machine does it all: it toasts your toasts, poaches your eggs, and steams your breakfast meat of choice, all at once, in less than 5 minutes! I got mine for only $29.99 at amazon.com.

This post is dedicated to Patrick W., who not only inspired me to finally write a blog post after a 1.5 month hiatus, but also is a HUGE fan of the Kogi Truck:

Any foodie in California should have heard about the infamous Kogi Taco Truck by now. It's no wonder, with over 1000+ reviews on Yelp, why the Kogi Truck has such a huge following for its fusion tacos. Kogi is a pioneer, not only in its Korean Tacos, but also in its use of social media (Twitter) to help generate buzz. Unfortunately for me, these trucks (that's right, there is more than one Kogi Truck!) reside only in LA-county!

After years of hearing about this beloved taco truck, I was lucky enough to be sent to LA for work on a Wednesday. As it turns out, the Kogi Truck shows up every Wednesday, 12PM-3PM, at the Yahoo! Center in Santa Monica. Score, and score! The Kogi Truck came straight to me - no need to stalk the truck like a feen. What foodie luck I have. =)

Knowing that there are always huge lines for the truck, my co-workers and I went to the truck location half an hour early (BEFORE the truck was even there, lol), but as it turns out, even that wasn't early enough. There were a bunch of skater boys waiting there before us. Well, at least we knew we were in the right spot! After half an hour of waiting, the line grew exponentially and almost down an entire block+more.

Enough talk, here's the grub:

I tried to try as much as possible to have a more objective view on the complete menu. Here's what I got, listed from my favorite to my least favorite:
